Is Bearing Your Bod A Bad Representation Of Islam?

This television presenter does not think so.

While one Muslim beauty queen was recently praised for refusing to wear a bikini on stage, one Muslim television presenter does not see any problem with being Muslim and bearing one's body in a bikini.

Saira Khan, a panelist on a UK television show called "Loose Women", posted bikini-clad snaps on her social media -- in defiance to a Muslim preacher who said it was sinful for women within the faith of Islam to pluck their eyebrows.

The 47-year-old's post resulted in a number of angry reactions from some social media users, saying she was giving a bad representation of Islam. "Your (sic) not a Muslim nor do you represent anything to do with Islam. Your white masters have given you what you desire as a sell out reporter. If you value your life, keep the f*** out of Islam."

Khan alerted the police of one particular message, that she perceived as a death threat.

Earlier this year, she publicly called out a Muslim man who criticised her for baring her body in a body confidence shoot alongside her colleagues.

She dubbed him a "narrow-minded, misogynistic, brainwashed, backward idiot."

While messages condemning her stance keep coming in,Khan, who remains defiant, said she feels a responsibility to speak out for women. "These idiots make women feel so shameful and guilty about our bodies and our desires and dreams."
